We Do Not Need To

A Big Part Of Doing Your Work Is Defending Your Time And Your Attention So You Can Do Your Work.

I Find That It's Almost Essential To Fall In Love With An Idea To Invest The Time It Takes To Make It Good And Worth Sharing. And Then, The Hard Part: Deleting That Idea When It's Just Not What It Could Be. Too Often, Organizations Are Good At The First Part, But Struggle With The Second. And So We Defend Expired Business Models, Support The Status Quo And Have A Knee-jerk Inclination To Preserve What We've Got.

Too Often, We Don't Give People The Opportunity To Fill In The Blanks.
